does anyone here do squats and deadlifts on the same day? i've always done legs then wait at least two days and do deadlifts with back day. can someone explain why or why not to do them on the same day. thanks

i do them on the same day, dont see why not

Depends how hard you go I suppose. I usually did ( in a 5 day program) day 1 back, day 2 chest, day 3 legs/forearms, day 4 shoulders, day 5 arms. So at least there is that break in between the deads / squats. After leg day they are usually sore for a few days after so id pencil in deads before the squats.

Gdoh, amazinf avatar btw

do them on the same day dont matter

really depends on your programming

but id say alternate heavy and light, so go heavy on squat light/speed on deadlift, then switch etc

and i thought my 140's for 8 was good jesus

wow its been a good 1yr + since i posted on here probably lol Anyways been back at the gym now coming up to a month i think? def lost A TON of strength. I jus twanted to get healthy again so ye lol i got a quick question regarding squats. I cant do normal squats very well so i put a bench behind me to kinda sit on it when i go down. Do i have to sit on it, or is the proper way to hover just above it and then go back up. What i been doing is sitting down and then basically going straight back up. But without using the force of a bounce from the bench to help. Just doing my best to go down, sit, then use my legs to go straight back up

lol shit man it's been awhile. u still at goodlife?

anyway, i think box squats become a crutch in a way that it prevents any sort of core activation in the hole which is exactly what you want and to perform a complex movement like the squat without any sort of core activation would be risky. it's meant for seasoned lifters that have trained for at least a year or so and are able to squat with good core activation, to allow them to improve explosiveness out of the hole

I tell people to start of with exercises like wall sits, leg press, maybe lunges, etc. exercises that don't require too much core strength, but still allow you to train your lower body.

my take on it

is there a good app for keeping track of your lifts? or am i better off with a pen and note pad

I use this:

Clean and simple.

thanks to cunninglinguist i was able to fix my low bar rack position. now my wrists dont feel like theyre gonna explode, this workout was easy peasy felt like 225 the whole workout

That sounds like great advice thanks bud! And no I'm at club16 in bby. More crowded and stuff but I can justify it for 15$ instead of 65$ lol

Holy shit that control.. Mirin' hard

thanks man,

huge gainz lately running my version of the conjugate method!

btw no homo but your pecs are hypertrophyzing :gayfight:

does anyone have any advice for getting the upper chest to grow. that is one of my hardest parts to gain size on. my strength for upper chest is going up but almost no change in size

patience

Halo was that you at Juan de fuca today?

Guy in a white nike singlet and shorts benched 315 for plenty of reps like it was nothing. Ignored a request from a guy who offered to spot. Then proceeded to do tricep dips with a 120lb db on a belt. Yes I was mirin and so was most of the gym. Alpha as fuark

which gym is that?

which gym is that?

no i would be doing 4 plates for reps

pr strength club in richmond

bs. this guy throws on 3 plates on the bench after a month of lifting. hes got a chest of peace too. stop hiding your secrets

What are your guys' recommendations for wrist straps/gloves?

I'm having a hard time doing heavy deadlifts and presses due to eczema on my palms. Cuts, peeled skin, sores..etc.. Don't worry I always wipe down equipment after use.

Does anyone else suffer from this?

see a dermatologist imo, hell help you out and prescribe something.

i base my training around those principles, and should be good for a mid 500 squat fairly soon
